PARKING - A small parking lot is located next to the church and can be accessed from River Street, which runs behind the church building. Ample on-street parking can also be found on East Main Street and Dock Street. Parking is also available in both Sovereign Bank and M&T Bank parking lots (Sunday mornings only).
​
-
ENTERING THE CHURCH - You may use either entrance doors on the front of the building. Once inside, you will find a friendly greeter who will direct you to the Sanctuary, which is located on Level Two (or the Chapel on Level One if our service is being held there). If you need the elevator, they will assist you. Restrooms are located on the Ground Level.
​
-
ENTERING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - An usher will give you a worship bulletin to guide you through the service. Children's activity bags are also available. Offering plates are located on a stand inside each Sanctuary entrance (or just outside the Chapel).
​
-
DURING THE SERVICE - Please be mindful that the service is being recorded for those who are viewing online. If we are celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Communion, the elements (bread and wine/juice) will be distributed by the ushers. The Mite Family Room is available in the rear of the Sanctuary for those who have difficulty sitting for longer periods of time.
​
-
LEAVING THE SANCTUARY/CHAPEL - At the end of the service, you may spend a few moments in prayerful reflection during the postlude music or exit using either of the stairwells. If you need the elevator, an usher will assist you.

"Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people;
once you had not received mercy,
but now you have received mercy."
~ 1 Peter 2:10
May is filled with ways to celebrate being God's people at Saint John's Church as we continue our focus on SERVING GOD and SERVING OTHERS.
​
We begin the month on Sunday, May 03 as we celebrate the Sacrament of Baptism AND the Sacrament of Holy Communion during the same service! It is always a blessing to celebrate the Sacraments, especially together.
We will celebrate the music ministries of Saint John's on Sunday, May 11, which is also Mother's Day. During this service, we will acknowledge those who participate in our musical groups and also honor mothers past and present. Proceeds from the sale of Mother's Day carnations will be donated to Phoebe Ministries to support their ongoing work.
​
On Sunday, May 17, the Chancel Singers will participate in the 10:30AM worship service @ Saint Mark's Church as they celebrate Music Sunday and commemorate the 40th anniversary of Lee Ferrier's tenure as Director of Music. Members of Saint John's are invited to attend.
​​
Pentecost Sunday, May 24 will include the Sacrament of Holy Communion. Don't forget to wear red!
​
Trinity Sunday, May 31 will include recognition of our graduates during the worship service. A graduation reception will follow. ​
May you feel blessed to be a part of God's family,
​
Timothy Gipe
Consistory President
